Re: What did you do to your truck today part IV
(just the other day) I installed a much needed heater to keep the windshield from fogging up at night on these brisk LA winter nights :lol:

Re: What did you do to your truck today part IV
Dressed up my engine bay a bit with some aluminum stamped radiator support shrouds, carbon dipped plenum cover, and some raw aluminum coil covers

Re: What did you do to your truck today part IV
Man, I'm loving your truck Zac. Are the rad support covers commercially available, or did you make them?

Re: What did you do to your truck today part IV
I put some rust converter in my rear cab corner pockets. I am worried because it said to put on a second coat with in 20 minuets and after it turns black but it never turned black. I don’t know if it’s because the first coat was too heavy or because there was some navel jelly left on the surface. I hope not the latter. I tried to clean it off the best I could considering the location. I will see how it looks next weekend. I also found some rust on the interior where the door frame connects to the floor. Another set back:(

Re: What did you do to your truck today part IV
swapped the p.o.s. POL lower control arms for some Ridetech StrongArms. Some of the best money I ever spent on the old girl. Went from feeling every single little bump and crack in the road to just gliding over it like driving on a soft pad of butter haha.

Re: What did you do to your truck today part IV
Not today, but my brothers and I installed new bed wood, mounted the fuel cell and made straps for the cell. Used 3/4 mdo plywood because it was available, stainless carriage bolts. Nothing fancy but the truck is maybe worth $200 now.
I put my tools in the bed and am driving it 90 miles round trip today for work. |

Did a few things this past week. Made a delete plate from a old finned valve cover and installed. Finished painting my drivers door with a distressed look (still have the rest of the cab to go), plus installed my Lokar shifter and Porter hood hinges. And last but not least, working on my center console, I am using from a sportster tank with Joe's Racing Switches.

Re: What did you do to your truck today part IV
Hey lowslow, is that bedliner spray in your engine bay and firewall? If so did you have to do anything special for the heat? Looks good!
|
Re: What did you do to your truck today part IV
Raptor bed lining was applied about a year ago. No problems so far, but this truck is driven very little.
|
Re: What did you do to your truck today part IV
Right on, I've looked up some threads on this and it seems everyone is divided on it, but I definitely like the look and will probably go for it once it gets a little warmer!
